From the evidence it appeared that the pri sonar and deceased were employed at a station of Mr. Timothy Sullivan, at Broken Shiaft Creek; the prisoner was employed as hutkeeper, the deceased as shepherd; there was atother indi vidual employed at the same station, a youth named Green, about sixteen sears of age. On the day named three other men arrived at this station; a man named Griffin, a man named Stokes, and another man named Doniergan. Shortly after the whole had assembled a sort of subscription purse was proposed, and raised, to purchase a gallon of rum. The prisoner and Green started to purchase it, and did not return until about midnight. The inmates of the hut -the deceased, Stokes, Griffin, and Donuergan -were in bed. As soon as intimation was given that the spirits had arrived, Stokes and ...

WHAT IS A GENTLIEMIAN? Tis is a question as often asked, as any we know, linin m?re dilieulIt to understand, than would be the Itosecruciau mysyteris, to the mind of aPirisian senipstress.. And, No wonder! for it is made up of so many components, so intri cately condensed; that to give a proper defiui tion, we must first understand, in what the conm ponents consist;' an I how these components, assirnilate to the whole. There are so many varieties of Gentlemen in the Colony of New Souith Wales, that it is a pity, they are not pro. perly classed, and distinguished, as a botanist would arrange shrubs, or a mineralogist minerals.

To the Editor of the Goulburn Herald: GOULBURN SHALL DEBTS COURT. " My teacher told mc what was accorling to Law was JUST, and that which was contrary"to Law was VIOLENT. Ile bid me take notice, therefore, that a Judge ought to give his opinion with the Law." -XENOPUON CYIOPrmDIA, Bok 1, Chap 20. Sztn,-My attention having been forcibly drawn to the manner in which the judicial proceedings of this Court have for some time past been con ducted, I feel it an incumbent duty to take notice of and point out some of the sayings and doings of the Magistrates who usually presided as:Judges over the same. Thids Court has now been two years in existence, and during that period, I will venture to assert, and would have little dilliculty in proving, that so great a number of decisions, equally inconsistent with law and justice, as with common sense, have not been arrived at in any similar Court in the Colony. Arguments in vain are urged-decisions quoted-respectful remon strances denounced (in br...

THE BENOUERS VERBUS REPEALERS. An accident occurred to-day at the swearing in of new barristers before the Lord Chancellor, which though of comparatively minor import, will no doubt help to swell the tide of political excitement from which this ill.fated country seems destined never to be wholly free. It having been nnderstood that at a meeting of the benchers held this morning, they had postponed the con sideration of the memorial of Dr. Gray (of the FRiEEMAN'S JOURNAL), and Mr J. H. Dunne (a member of the Repeal Association), to be ad mitted members of the Irish bar. Dr. Gray, addressing the Lord Chancellor after the other gentlemen were.admitted, said Ihe understood that his memorial had been rejected, and required to know the cause of his rejection, which he understood was on account of his political sentiments. The Lord Chancellor said he could give no other explanation than that the consideration of the memorials were postponed until next term. Mr. J. H. Dunne then rose and sa...

.IRELAND. TRIAL OF Mn. MITCHELL FOR SEDITION. The trial of Mr, Mitchell, of the " United Irish man" newspaper, commenced on Thursday, May 25, in the Commission Court,. but the greater part of the day was taken up with technical ob jections ont the part of the prisoner's counsel. The second day's trial proceeded, and in the evening, shortly after seven o'clock, Mr. Justice Moore-entered the Court, and the jury having been called, and asked whether they had agreed, the forenian amidst breathless silence, handed down the verdict-" Guilty." Upon the an n9uncement of the verdict, the prisoner's wife threw herself on the shoulder of her husband, wvho stobd near her in tile dock, in an agony of grief. Several of the prisoner's most intimate friends, including-Messrs. T. F. Meaghar, T. Devin Reilly, thle Rev. Father Kenyon, Dr. Gray, Mr. Doheny, Mr. J. B.

BY arrivals from London via Adelaide and Port Phillip, we have papers down to the 6th June. With the exception of the trial, conviction, and transportation of Mr. Mitchell of the "Uni ted Irishman," the general disturbed state of the Continet, there is nothing of much interest. The first of these occurrences caused much excitement in Ireland and Eugland-and in the latter county the Chartists were holding simtul tanecous meetings, and denotinoing the " base, bloody, and brutal Whigs." In Ireland much disturbance was apprehended, especially as Mr. Mitchell's misfortunes had attracted to his cause many thousands, who otherwise ab horred his ultra doctrines. The Irish Confe. deration acting undei the advice of their leader Smith O'Brien, had published an inflammatory proclamation to the people of Ireland, which the "Times" designated a" war manifesto" and from the high state of excitement in that unfortunate country an outbreak may be daily looked for. We find but little in the papers, ...

A BALL ROOM REMINISCENCE. It was amidst a dazzling scene To youth and happiness entrancing, Gay music made light the hearts Of those, who with fairy steps were dancing. And one there stood, amid the throng, Who seemed the gayest of the gay, But from her bright eye stole forth SA despairing melancholy ray. Though wit, with mirth and laughter Were flowing from her tongue, I saw there was one only form On which her soul and eyes were hung. At length they met as distant friends, I beheld the roserecede, andher.sparkling eye grow dim, But woman's pride came to her aid, Tho' she still loved only him. He passed with-a cold formal bow, Nor heeded he the smile of pride, That conceal'd a breaking heart within, Which vainly sought its grief to hide. In after years we met again, She still was gay and happy to the sight, But her loud laughter seem'd to me An echo of affections, crush'd since that sad night. And such alas! is woman's fate To haveher fond affection blighted, And where most trosted...

SQUATTERS' SONG. To the verdant plains of Fleecemeree, Our joys are bounded, but our souls are free, Far as the limits are, our cattle roam, -Survey our flooks, and then behold our home. There love abides, and happiness has sway, Cheerfully with industry we pass each blithesome day: Qur's the wild life, thro' pathless woods to range, From toll to rest, and joy in ev'ry change. Oh! who can tell ? not those in cities born, Whose soul would sicken ere a sheep be shorn: Nor the vain votary of gaming and quadrilles, Whose hetad is full of folly, his desk of unpaid bills. Oh! who can tell, save they who spend their life "Far from the vain world's ignoble strife," Th' ennnobling sense-the serene-yet thrilling charm Ol a life passed free, from sophistry or harm. Man here can blissful live from morn till night, And turn what some deem labor, to delight; He gains what all have sought, but few can find, Tranquillity of conscience, and content of mind. Goulburn.
